Naked sleepwalking on the rise.
October 26, 2007
According to British hotel company Travelodge, incidents of sleepwalking in hotels rose seven-fold in the past year, and 95 percent of the culprits are scantily clad men.
Which means men staying in hotels in Britain have serious psychological disorders, or there is something more sinister happening.
To manage the steep increase in naked sleepwalking incidents, Travelodge has decided to implement a new training program to deal with the phenomenon.
One tip in the company’s newly released “sleepwalkers guide” tells staff to keep towels handy at the front desk in case a customer’s dignity needs preserving.
The company said naked wanderers often ask receptionists such questions as “Where’s the bathroom?,” “Do you have a newspaper?” or “Can I check out, I’m late for work?”

The mystery of the ‘haunted’ swing.
October 26, 2007
Argentinians have been spooked by a mysterious playground swing that rocks backwards and fowards for up to 10 days without being touched.
Police and local families of in the north-eastern town of Firmat believe that the playground must be haunted.
In an attempt to explain the swing’s mysterious movement, police called in physics professors. But even they have been unable to explain the why the swing keeps moving.
Teacher Maria de Silva Agustina said one child had nicknamed the area the “Blair Witch Playground”, after the 1999 cult horror film.
Yes indeed.
Well, if you watch the video below, you too can see the Blair Witch Playground in action.

Crazy Tool: “Peter Addison was here,” left written at crime scene.
September 6, 2007
The Crazy News has decided to bring back an old segment.
The Crazy News Tool of the Week!
In this case, it’s the crazy news tool of the month, since it’s been at least 30 days since our last tool awarding.
This time, our tool, comes from lovely Cheshire, England.
Along with the apparently fun act of robbery and vandalism, an 18-year-old burglar thought it would be a fantastic idea to write “Peter Addison was here” on a wall.
And yep, our young friend Peter, actually his real name, was soon nabbed by police.
But it does not end there.
Police who arrived to investigate the incident were stunned to find Addison’s calling card plus other messages saying: “Thanks for the Stay,” according the London’s, The Daily Mail.
They checked his details on a computer system and when they caught up with him, he was also found to be wearing a T shirt stolen during the burglary.
Police were also able to aprehend a number of other offenders with Peter at the time.
Gareth Woods from the local Cheshire Police said: “This crime is up there were the dumbest of all in the criminal league table.
“There are some pretty stupid criminals around but to leave your own name at the scene of the crime takes the biscuit. The dafetness of this lad certainly made our job a lot easier.”
It doesn’t just take the biscuit.
It takes The Crazy News Tool of the Week/Month award too!
Enjoy it Peter, enjoy….
